15-21: Excellent clarity and guidance for deprecated API.

The warning block effectively communicates that Prisma.validator is legacy, provides a clear technical reason (only with prisma-client-js generator), and helpfully guides users toward the modern alternative (satisfies operator). The progression from limitation → alternative → learning resource is pedagogically sound and provides a smooth migration path for users.

---

15-16: No issues found—terminology is consistent and accurate.

The warning correctly uses official Prisma terminology. Web search of Prisma documentation confirms that prisma-client-js is the legacy generator and prisma-client is the new generator. The codebase reinforces this: AI guidance explicitly directs developers to use provider = "prisma-client" rather than the legacy option. The terminology in lines 15-16 is consistent with both official Prisma documentation and existing documentation references throughout the repository.

---

15-21: No issues found. Warning block is accurate and well-supported.

The verification confirms all claims in the warning block are factually correct:

• Prisma.validator is only available in the legacy prisma-client-js generator and not in the new prisma-client generator
• TypeScript's satisfies operator (available in TS 4.9+) provides zero runtime cost while delivering equivalent or better type checking compared to Prisma.validator
• The external blog post link is valid (HTTP 200)
• The recommendation is consistent with other documentation pages that reference satisfies as the replacement
• Formatting and indentation are correct
